COMBINE-D GQVERNOR AND REGULATOR FOR AIR-COMPRESSORS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J l ly 12, 191th 1910.' Serial No. 547,600.

it: known that l. Jenn l i. Osnonnn, a citizen of the l'lniletl States, residing at Erie, in the county of Eric and State of lennsylnnia, have invented certain new and useful l n'iprtn'emcnts in Combined Governors and Regulators for Air-Compressors, of Which the'following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in combined governor and regulator or air compressors.

This device is designed for .use in connection with any type. of air compressor and either a single acting or multiple compressor, it being understood that whatever form of compressor is employed, the same being operated through the agency of a supplied fluid, a regulation tin-:rcot' att'ccts throttling of the motor. With the provision therefore of the ordinary fluid supply valve, for supplying such fluids steam or water to the prime mover of preferred type, the present inven tion may be termed as three-told in its complete regulation and governing of the air com prcssor.

l irst, there is provided a centrifugal weight governor operating through special nierhanism to l'tl'ttlllt't said fluid supply valve. in the ordinary use of centrifugal governors in (-tamection \vith anotors, the slowing down of a nmtor for any cause, such as an overload. results automatically in opening the 'lluid supply valve a desired degree for accelerating the speed of the motor. in connection with an air compressor, the. nonuse ot' the pumped fluid or compressed air, would canm a back pressure upon the pumps and a conscunent slowing down oi the motor, which would ordinarily result in an automatic increase. of th; actuating tluitland a conscipient acceleration of the motor. which, it. is evident would cause a turther increase ot the. puinped air pressure at ore the normal or desired pressure.

The. second provision therctorc herein dcvised. is an auxiliary pneumaticregulatorfor use in conjunction with said centrifugalgovcrnc and designed to accommodate such governor for use upon air compressors when com-- bined therewith. in whatever use the air compressor may be employed, a prcdctermincd constant pressure ot the pumped air is ordinarily desired and the present provision through apntannatic device, results in bringingthe speed regulating means lnto complete control of the motor atany desired degreeof pressure. That is, an auxiliary air cylinder coinmnuicating with the pumped air supply, is in such control of the fluid supply 'alvc as in itself to regulate such supply and even to close such valve entirely upon a predetermined increase above normal of the air pun'iped'or stored; and by such pneumatic regulator absolutely fixing the maximum at which such valve may be opened by the centrifugal governing means of the motor and thus throi'igh such governor maintaining such maximum speed whatever such maximum may be, as established by the pneumatic regulating means aforesaid.

A third cooperatingmechanism automatically operates in connection with the entire general structure to completely close the fluid supply valve of the motor upon a breaking or removal of the operating belt of the governor shaft.

Having set forth these general objectsof the invention the same will now be fully described in connection with the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several vicws,*l igurc 1 is a side elevation of the combined devices mounted upon a fluid supply valve casing and. showing the balance wheel in section, all of the mechanism.being as positioned when the compressor is not running, Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is a. longitudinal section of the shaft mechanism similar to that shown in Fig. 2 illustrating the elements as positioned when the compressor is in full operation, Fig. elis a top plan view at. the mechanism shown in Fig. 1 with the entire shat't angl its carried mechanisms removed and showing the pneumatic regulator upon the valve casing top, Fig. 5 is an inside view ot the balance wheel and centrifugal governor, the same being removed from the engine shaft, F igs. 6 and 7 are perspective views of the cam collars ot' the go ernor, Fig. 8 is a vertical loi'igitiudinal section of the pneumatic regulating mechanism, Fig. l is an end elevation thereof, Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the main frame portion of the pneumatic regulator, Fig. 11 is a perspective View of the valve lever and its adjusting toggle connections, Fig. 12 is an inside elevation of one of the weight 'members of the governor, and Fig. 13 is a detail sectional view of the spring pivot mechanism.

In taking up in detail the description of the drawings, the mechanisms combining to form the third subdivision above noted will be first commented upon for the reason that they are general to the entire structure and that a clear understanding thereof at the outset will render the operation of the centrifugal governor and pneumatic regulator an easy matter upon describing the details of each of the same.

It is to be understood that the com ressor engine is actuated by the fluid receivedt iereby through the fluid supply valve 1 of the usual construction known as a ported rotary valve. This valve mechanism, plainly shown by the sectional view thereof designated Fig. 2,

' comprises the T-shell 2-with the inlet port 3 and outlet port- 4, having the chamber 5 accommodating the rotatable bowl shaped valve member 6, which is provided with suitable ports 7 which ports are adapted to be brought intoand out of registry with the ports 8 of corresponding size in the inner casing 5 of the chamber 5, and thus by rotation of said valve 6 regulating the How of mechanisms forming the present invention and has mounted thereon, and preferably "integral therewith as here shown, the posts 20 and 21 positioned upon opposite sides of 5 said perforation 13, which latter is substantially central of said plate. The radial arm 22 extending inwardly from the post 20 is provided with a bushing member'23 through which extends said valve stem 9, while the upper part 24 thereof is provided with said lever 10 constructed integral therewith and also with a base flange 25 having a projectmg. lug 26 formed thereon and a'daptedto contact the pin 27 at the assumption by the lever'lO of the. position at which the fluid supply valve 1 is completely closed, said pin being upon the arm 22 and the pin'24. securing the-valve stem to said part 24.

The toggle connection for operating said valve stem lever 10 is shown in detail in Fig.

11 and comprises the split nut 28 having the collar 29 journaled thereon and which is easily adjusted upon said exteriorly-threaded lever-arm 10 by the projecting wings 30 and is locked in adjustment by the set nut 31. Said collar 29 employs the perforated lugs thereof 32 for journaling the pin 33 extending therethrough and pivoting thereto the connecting yoke arm 34 of the toggle, while the opposite end of said arm is pivoted as at 35 to the connecting lever 36 spring pivoted as at 37 to the sleeve 38 for the purposes hereinafter fully set forth.

A governor shaft 39 belted to the main drive or crank shaft of the compressor or its motor, is journaled within the sleeve 40 through which it extends and projects fora suitable distance for receiving the hub 41 of the balance wheel 42 which is secured to the tapered end 43 thereof by the set nut 44, while for preventing any possible movement of the shaft longitudinally of the sleeve 40,- there is provided the stop ring 45 fixed to.

the shaft by the screw pin 46. While such mounting ofthe governor shaft directly upon the valve casing is preferred, other mountings may be used for accommodating the present mechanisms, but, in either event the driving belt pulley 47 is secured to said shaft as by the set bolt 48. Within the sleeve 40 said shaft is reduced throughout the central portion 50 thereof for reducing the friction between the same and said sleeve within which it is ournaled, said sleeve also having a correspondingly enlarged bore ortion 51.

The integral post 20 herein efore described has mounted thereon the yoke member 52 secured as by the screw 53 and forming a rigid attachment, while its opposite arms are provided with alining perforations receiving stub shafts 5 4 retained therein by the set nuts 55. Said stub shafts 54 extending through the longitudinal slots 56 in the outer cas ng 38' are received at opposite points within sockets diametrically positioned in the exterior periphery of'the sleeve 40, and at the enlarged or shouldered portion 57 thereof and by which means said shaft 39 is pivoted in the yoke 52 and so supported upon the plate base 19.

The bore 58 of the sleeve 38 having a contracted portion adjacent the inner end thereof rovides the shoulder 59 against Which is sea fed the collar 60 surrounding the sleeve 40 while the enlarged portion 57 of said latter sleefve provides shoulders on the opposite sides thereof for seating one end of the coil spring 61 and the other end of which contacts said collar 60, and the coil spring 62 -which latter is retained within said sleeve 38 by the annular end cap 63 through which cap the outer end of the sleeve 40 extends,

said springs both encircling the sleeve 40.

Thelpost 21 terminates in a rectangular head 64 having the rectangular opening 65 through which and of less diameter than I which, extends the sleeve 66 having a. central rectangular ridge 67, the extreme front end wvedcesha wed rid 'c 7t) n'otrud 69 of which sleeve enters the sleeve 38, while the outward movement thereof is limited by the pin 68 mounted upon the sleeve 4-6., both end portions of the sleeve being cylindrical,

In the ope *ative position ot the parts as shown in Fig 3, the inner portion (if) of the sleeve 66 is so positioned as to sligatly compress the encircling spring 61, by the engagement of the inner end of said sleeve with the movable collaroOq which movement also positions the collar out of engagement with the shoulder 59, during the operation of the device. The squared middle portion 67 being provided with the trout wedgeshaped ridge 70, such ridge is received through the rectangular opening and protrudes therefrom, having the remaining up per face of the rectangular ridge (3? flatly contacting the inner face of the head (it.

The governor shaft as here illustrated has certain parts thereof arranged designedly for a belt connection between the pulley 4-! thereof and a driving shaft positior .d substantially in vertical relation therewith and belted thereto.

Itis to be understood that the present combined governor regulator is essential. to the perfect operation of the air compressor and thatthe same is in complete control ot the compressor at all times during the operation of the latter. This being so, a belted relation between the governor shaft 39 and the compressor motor or engine is av constant one, excepting in cases of an accidental breaking of the belt connection or the removal of the belt eil ecthig the same.

It is so essential that the present devices be in complete control at all times during the operation of the C(ill'llntffiStfl', that there is provided the automatic means whereby should an accidental breaking or slip iin e' or? of the belt communicating with the pulley 4%? occur, the an compressor will be at once brought to a. dead stop. This result it- Will be seen is readily accmnplished by the mechanisms just. described and during which action oi the parts their positions are relatively changed from that shown in Fig.

3 to the disclosures thereof in Fig. in such operation the spring (ll acting t ex- 0 pel the sleeve (it; from the receiving" sleeve 38 normally prevented from oll'ecting such an expulsion by the .t'orccd retention of the ing; through the rei'ztangnlar opening (3.? and contacting the inner face of the t'raiue (i l: tlusrcot, in which contacting relation sai-d parts are maintailu'ed by the normal upward pull ot the beltupon the pulley 4-7 at all times dur-- ing' the operatioi'i of the dcvicef Upon a releasing ot the belt l '-.l1Z-l0llfor any reasom the outward exertion of the spring (3i forces the sleeve (16 outward, with the wedge shaped ridge Tl sliding within and substantially through the opening of the head (i-l and such outward movement being limited by the pin 8 before noted. The spring 61 being seated upon thecollar normally held out of engagement during running position with the shoulder is brought into forcible ei igement therewith during the above described outward movement of the parts, so that after the ctmtacting of said collar (30 with the shoulder 59 during the outward movement thereof, an outward. movementwould also be imparted to the containing sleeve 3'5, which latter as before noted has pivoted to the underneath side thereof as at 3? the lever 36 efiecting communication between said collar 38 and the actuating lever 10 of the fluid supply valve 1.. The result therehire oi the removal of the belt is to trip the retaining sleeve 66 and release the spring 61 whereby the sleeve 38 is moved. outwardly and the fluid supply valve 1- of the compressor motor completely closed. For this operation the position of the opposite slotted end 71 of the lever 36, as hereinafter fully described is immaterial as such end in this connection allords only the fulcrum point for said lever operated by the application of power at the pivot point 37 upon the actuating sleeve. For providing a belt connection below .or at either side of the shaft the sleeve 66 may be rotated as many quarter turns as desired, and then seated as before within the opening 65.

The centrifugal goncmo ru 'l he first of the two combined. mechanisms primarily constituting" the pn eut invention consists of the centrifugal governor which as hereinbet'ore noted is mounted in the ordinary manner upon the outer tapering end 43 of the governor shaft 35). The construction thereof consists of the My or balance wheel 4-2 in lheform of an annulancasing 72 provided with the internally arranged weights 73 pivoted at, diametrically opposite points therein upon l'li(-.pii1s 74 positioned through pertoratious provided in integral projecting lugs 7:; carried by the inner periphery ol said casing. These weights are so pivoted at the perforated ends Tl thereof, that said perforation being designated as 7'? in Fig. 12 which latter is a view ot' the inner face ol a single weight detached from the gov ernor, while the outer ends are provided on the exterior faces thereof with the hook members 8 adapted to resilientlyconnect said ends of the weights through the pertoration T7 of the relatively adjacent weight by the coil springs 79 which having opposite y projecting cars 86 within the slots 87 of'which are accommodated the .roller ends 88 of the pins 89 secured through perforations in the weight ends by the looking members 90. The wei MS 73 may be reversed by employing the urther hooks 80'. The general operation of these governing weights will be apparent, it being noted that the rapid rotation of the containing wheel member 42 results in the centrifugal action imparted thereby. upon the weight 73 in swinging the same in opposite directions to ward the inner periphery of, the casing 72 and against the predetermineddegree of centripetal resilience afforded by the coil springs 79 previously described; any movements of the weights 73 thereby impart through ther'oller ends 88 a partial rotation to the cam collar 82 as such. roller ends are forced in their sliding movement within the slots 87 to so impel said collar. The, inner face 91 of each weight constitutes a' true semi-circle and such semi-circular inner 1 faces of the pair of weights as shown in Fig. 5 form the complete circular inclosure for the camv collar 82, the roller end of each weight having a terminal abutting face 92 engaging the contiguous squared portion 93 of the companion weight when the governor is at rest. Feathered upon the hub flange 81 as at 941 is the companion cam collar. 95 having free longitudinal movement upon said hub flange under the action of the cam faces 85 of the operating collar 82' upon complementary cam-faces 96 .of the actuated collar 95.

a With the provisionof the regular annular engaging flange 97 adjacent the outer end of the longitudinal movable sleeve 38, normally in contact with the actuated cam collar 95, which contact is normally insured byaction of thespring 62 during the belted up or active relation of the governor shaft, the complete operation of said described governing mechanism is believed to be evident.

' The outward impulses effected upon the Weights by the centrifugal action resultsin ,the longitudinal inward variations of move ment of the sleeve 38, and the return thereof being effected by the spring 62, it is evident that the lever 36 is constantly moved upon its pivotal connection 37 with the sleeve upon all variations in speed of the governor shaft; while there is occasioned thereby a threaded valve stem lever 10; it being further noted that the position of the sleeve 38 is constantly changing when the governor shaft is in motion, thus employing the said end 71 of the lever 36 as the fulcrum point, While movement is imparted by said sleeve pivot'connection 37 therebetween.

The pneumatic regulaton-The second general provision 'hereinbefore referred to which b'onstitutes a complete pneumatic regulator willnow be described and also 38 to said lever at the point of said spring its co'acti'on with the hereinbefore described centrifugal governing means as well as incidentally with the belt released safetymechanisms. The main frame work of this parts in the perspective view, Fig. 10, is mounted upon the offset 99v of said post 21' by the bolts or other securing means 100 engaging the bar 101 of said frame work, and which extends at substantially right angles thereto. The main feature of said frame work consists of the pneumatic cylinder 98 having at one end thereof the cross head 102 which has a port opening pining and comstructure as shown separatedfrom all other munic'at-ing with said cylinder which port is normally closed by the screw-threaded. plug 103. Adjacent said ported end of the cylinder is provided the inlet port 104 adapted for connection with the pumped ing pressure of the pumped air upon the piston 105 operativelypositioned within the cylinder. The aforesaid cylinder is open at its outer end' allowing the entrance'of the piston rod 106 having a pointed end 107 freely resting within the circular socket 108 formed in the outer end of the piston and by which construction the air pressure actuating said piston forces outwardly. the piston rod, which latter is in turn pivoted to v the arm 109 of the frame through the agency of the angularly bent link 110.

The lever 111 adapted to be actuated by said pneumatic means is pivoted upon the pin 112 and within the slotted extension 113 of said arm 109 of the frame, while said lever 111 further extends through the link compressed air or the storage receptacle therefor and thus communicating the vary- 110 and upon the curved inner face 114 of which the roller bearing 115 is adapted to bear, said roller bearing being journaled within the link 11-()- and upon the pin 116 extending through the end of the piston rod. For returning the piston rod-and piston inwardly against the air pressure and for regulating the force of said return pressure, is provided the sprlng 117 encircling and forcing, outwardly the link 118 pivoted to the lower extremity of said lever 111, while a movable plug 119 furnishes the other abutment for said. spring and whereby through the rotation of said plug within the screw-threaded opening 120 of the cross eeaaea head 102, the resiliency of said spring is easily adjusted. Said plug is preferably provided at its outer end with wings or e:-;- tensions 121 for easily turning the same while a set nut 122 retains the member in the desired adjusted position, the entrance of the reduced extension 123 of the link 118 within the bore 12st of the plug being evident from an inspection of the sectional view of the structure.

1V ithin the rectangular alining openings 125 of the frame, is slidably-mounted the rectangular slide rod 126 having a vertical slot 127 provided through its outer end, in

,which slot and bearing upon the sides thereof when being actuated is the rounded or cylindrical upper end 128 of the lever 11.1. Pivotally-mounted upon said, slide rod at a point thereon between its supports is the adjacent end of the lever 36, such pivoting being accomplished by the positioning'ot' the spool 129 within the slot- 130 of the lever end 71 heretofore referred to, this spool being secured to the slide rod by the screw 131.

From the above descriptions will be noted the link and pivot connections between the rotatable valve stem 9 and the slide rod 126 and an actuation of the latter to its fullest extent will obviously result in a complete closing of the fluid inlet'valve 1. In the actirations of said valve by this pneumatic element, the sleeve pivot 37 constitutes the fulcrum.

In using the pneumatic regulator in connection with a single acting compressor it is essential that provision be made against the complete closing of the fluid supply valve which would possibly result in stalling the compressor on a dead center. This is provided bypositioning the adjustable pin 132 within the opening 133 of the cylinder extension 134, which extension also supports the slide rod-and is opposed to the head 102; and in further placing upon said slide rod the stop'lug 135, which being in a line with the inner free end of the pin 132, is adapted to engage the same'upon its reci rocation with the slide rod 126, and thus t e "throw of said rod is limited as desired, said pin being adjustably retained by the set nut 136.

Considering the fluid inlet valve 1 in communication with a full head of steam, and the limiting pin 132 at its outermost position, the operation of the pneumatic regulator will now be noted. 1

The belt connection being perfect and the compressed air Within the outlet distributing members or the storage receptacle being above normal, the compressors will be inactive for the reason thatthe actuating fluid supply valve 1 will be maintained closed by the air pressure exerted upon the piston 105 occasioning the extreme outward throw of the slide rod 126. A reduction in the pressure of the pumped air which may be occasioned by a. use of some of the supply there of, results in a consequent decrease in pressure of air within the cylinder 98 whereupon the piston 105 incidentallyresponds by an inward movement, which, through'the link and pivot connection, actuates the supply valve 1 a sufficient amount and the air compressor engine or motor thereby being supplied with'its fluid, begins its operation of the air compressor, which continues until the closing of said fluid supply valve. l/Vith a continued pumping of the air and a nonuse thereof an excess of air-pressure will be occasioned, which being communicated. to the pneumatic cylinder" 98 automatically closes the fluid supply valve for the motor which stops the same until the air pressure drops below normal, whereupon the rearward throw of the slide rod 126 occasioned by the action of the spring 117, made possible by the reduction of air pressure behind the piston 105, results in 'the opening of the supply valve. The broad co-action between this pneumatic regulation and the centrifugally governed sleeve 38 residesin the accurate positioning of a fulcrum spool 129 at a position to allow; the fluid. supply valve 1 tobe opened only a predetermined maximum amount. A constant pressure within the pneumatic cylinder 08, whatever the degree of pressure may be, positions fulcrum point 129 in a fixed position, while in any other degree of pressure, a diilerent fixed position will be assumed thereby and each position thereof deteri'nines the limit to which the fluid valve may be opened. The pneumatic regulator will first be set to operate between any two desired limits of air pressure, by the use of the tension adjusting means of the piston return spring 117. Such fulcrum being so positioned by the action of the piston between said two limits of pressure, and determining thereby the extreme limit at'which the fluid valve may be opened, the speed of the engine is maintained normal through the action of the centrifugal governgr hereinbefore fully described and which governor controls the amount of actuating fluid delivered to the engine by the valve 1 Within the limit or up to the point of the maximum as set by said pneumatic regulating mechanism-as just described.

The adjustment of the nut 29 upon the valve lever 10, it will. e noted, changes the length of the lever connections between the pivoted member'36 and said lever, while the changing of the position. of such nut upon the lever results in accurately determining ,the length oii reciprocations of which the sleeve 38 is capalde, under theinfluence of the centrifugal governi jg It will be noted that the lower portion of the curved bearing iaeellaof the lever-111 is curved abruptly to form an end seat 114: for the roller bearing 115, so as to position the same at its lowest point of movement with the, connected iston rod 106 in a substantially horizontal plane. In connection with the. function and-operation of the angular link 110 in its rocking movement during the contacting of its roller member 115 with the lever face 114, it will be seen that the angular fixed positions of the fulcrums of the several different parts are such that considering the pivot 112 of the lever 111 in connection with the pivot 110 of the link 110, both pivots being in the arm 109, and also together with the piston rod pin 106, upon an outward movement of'the piston under the influence of the increased pumped fluid pressure, the distance between the members 116 and 112 is increased and the leveragef vantage'is enhanced thereby to a corresponding degree while simultaneously therewith the tension of the spring 117 increases.

The accurate setting of the pneumatic reg- ,ulator by means of the spring 117 and its follower 119 may be best illustrated by referring to an actual test thereof. A complete regulation of the air pressure may be desired between any two limits of such pressure, such for instance as a variation of 5 pounds. With such a limit it is obvious that a change Ora-- pounds in the air pressure mustresult in a travel of the lever arm 111 through its entire path oftravel and the conseq ent complete compression of said spring 117. Ithas been found that the forge obtained with 100 pounds of air pressure.

upon the piston is about 44 poundsiwhile I [with 105 pounds of air pressure the force obtained is about 46.2 pounds. It is also ac curately determined" that the complete compression of the spring of an inch requires 22 pounds of exerted force beingthe differ-- ence between an initial pressure of e tpounds and a maximum-pressure of 66 pounds of force upon said spring. As the above variations of 5 pounds in the air pressure upon the piston results only in a variation of 2.2 pounds of force as exerted upon the spring 117, it is essential to the perfect operation of the regulator that the remainder of the 22 pounds required or in other words 19.8 pounds of force be provided for, and such is now attained by automatically compound-' sliding movement of the roller bearing 115v upon the ing the leverage vantage by the 'curved bearing surface 114 of the lever 111 as hereinbefore described. Thereby there is obtained a regulation of pressure within a variation of 5 pounds pressure upon the iston 105. There is no reduction in speed of the compressor until the maximum pressure is reached whereupon an excess of 5 pounds would then bring the compressor to a minimum speed and with a portion of this increase it would give the compressor the speed required to maintain sure whatever the requirement thereof within however the capacity of the machine.
